Chapter 44
The drama ended with Jasper promising not to meddle in the Gardner Group’s business.
After Sophia and Javier left, Newton looked around at the mess in anger. “What a shame! All the men in our family just have to fall for those scheming Gardner women!”
Jasper bent down to pick up the things on the floor while his mind spun. Could someone have replaced Jonah at the meeting in Yoarkley?
But he knew his father wouldn’t have recognized the wrong person. They had fought twice at a shopping mall. There was no way Newton could have been mistaken unless he was showing early signs of dementia.
Jasper picked up a hand fan and asked, “Grandpa, is this yours?” Newton sighed and said, “Just look at me. I must have lost my senses in anger. Bring it to me.”
Newton’s gaze softened, and he said, “Alice made me this fan herself. The patterns and calligraphy are all her own work.”
Alice knew calligraphy? She also knew how to draw?
Jasper was stunned for a moment, and he didn’t know how to respond. When she was with him, she was disciplined and dull.
Alice was very mundane compared to Liana, who knew how to play the piano, dance, and sing. Besides being gentle, obedient, and pretty, Alice had no other talents. She was no different than the maids at home.
But why had she started shining brightly like a diamond after leaving him? She exuded confidence now. And her previously unknown abilities were being revealed one by one, surprising him.
Was it because she thought that he did not deserve her at her best, but Jonah did? So she didn’t love him, but was only fulfilling her duties – as his wife to please him. True love was what she felt for Jonah, wasn’t it?
“Last time, Alice would visit me every weekend and sometimes go for a walk with me. Other times, she would accompany me in the study for the entire afternoon, but she didn’t mind. She would read beside me or write calligraphy. (1)
“Her calligraphy and drawing skills are pretty good. The moment she put pen to paper, I could tell she had more than ten years of experience. She wrote with poise and skill. Her graceful air tells me that she’s from a distinguished family,” said Newton.
He pouted and sighed. “She’s so much better than that decadent Gardner girl. But alas, you’re blinded by love and can’t tell what’s good for you.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
